Countdown to Innovation: Mibex Software's Advent Calendar of Tech Tips

[#1]

As the festive season approaches, Mibex Software is excited to unveil our Advent Calendar - a daily dose of tech insights, tips, and tricks.

This December, we're committed to sharing our expertise and experiences to enhance your software development skills. Here's a teaser of what we've shared and what's to come:

 1st December: Bitbucket Syntax Highlighting

Discover how Bitbucket on-prem can be customized for better syntax highlighting.

Bitbucket has the support to associate mime types of files with new file extensions to get Codemirror syntax highlighting for free:

As an example, you can add the following line to your bitbucket.properties, and .sbt (Scala Build) and .sc (Scala CLI) files will be syntax highlighted as Scala files:

syntax.highlighter.text/x-scala.extensions=sbt,sc

All it needs is a Bitbucket server restart to make this work.

2nd December: Browser Search Efficiency

We delve into browser hacks for faster and more efficient searches, a critical skill in today's information-rich environment. Learn how to set up smart search keywords in both Firefox and Chrome, a simple yet impactful way to speed up your daily browsing and information retrieval tasks.

3rd December: Emoji-Powered Commit Messages

Get ready to explore Gitmoji, an innovative approach to commit messages using emojis. This fun yet functional practice helps in quickly identifying the purpose of code commits, adding a layer of visual cues to the often text-heavy world of coding.

In the upcoming days, we'll continue to unveil more tips and tricks, covering a range of topics from AI in code reviews to efficient Git practices and much more. Our Advent Calendar is not just about counting down to the holidays; it's about enriching your tech knowledge and sharing the joy of learning.

Stay tuned as we reveal more exciting content each day, and join us in celebrating a season filled with learning, innovation, and tech advancements.

Happy holidays from the Mibex Software team!
